Fair lettings.

county. Our people are in earnest and oul
by no means limited experience in such mat
tiers does not furnish us with another i'll
stance of such unanimty and hard work.
We are being met literally by people rcsid
ing in other towns and in the cities; the do
nations are numerous and valuable cash in
no inconsiderable amount has already been
forwarded and some of the handsomcst arti
clcs we have ever seen will be displayed.
We are proud to be able to place already
$3.50 to TIE CLAR1oN's credit and we are
confident that this amount will be hand
somely augmented before the fair closes.
There will be extra attractions introduce
ed, that will insure large attendance and
it is the purpose of the managers to add new
features as the fair progresses.
One of the richest finds was that OF MIR. Nj.
G. Cramer chairman of the Merchants Solicit
ing Committee; he made trip to Baltimore
on Monday and Tuesday last and the list
that he secured of both articles and cash
amazed everyone and there is yet some to
come
The following list will give an idea OF how
Mr.. Cramcr was met and the extent of inter
est manifested by the city merchants.
